[Collins] testing 51J4 filters?

[eugene at hertzmail.com]

Hello all, 

Finally found a 6.0kHz mech filter for my 51J4 (also got a 1.4 too).
Problem is, my 51J4 is inoperative presently. I was wondering if there
are some simple tests I could perform on these filters that might tell
me either they work, or are likely to work? Or perhaps that they are
dead? Test equipment available includes rf generator, scope, hp410B
meter. Are there some simple tests I could perform?

Thanks
